Received call that ICloud account has been compromised

yesterday I received multiple voicemails that my iCloud account on some of my Apple devises may have been compromised. Can it be confirmed if this might have been a legitimate notice

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
